Izembek Point XCB-003-505, XCB-003 or IZM-003 is a site that A.P. McCartney investigated in 1971. It serves as the primary location for studying the Izembek Phase. The area features a small village with a distinctive whalebone house and numerous artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region. This settlement dates back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were obtained through research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266 and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led this investigation as the Principal Investigator. These artifacts were digitized using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i scanner. The data was then processed in Geomagic or Polyworks software. For texture, 2-8 photos per artifact were used within Geomagic Wrap. Initial scanning and digitizing work took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication occurred at Global Digital Heritage. A.P. McCartney's research is documented in "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula" (APUA 16(1):59-84, 1974). H. Maschner's work can be accessed through doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007 and was published in Arctic Anthro on January 1, 2004, vol. 41 no. 2 (98-111).
